This Cooperative Agreement award from the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA), under the FDA Research program (CFDA 93.103), provides $245,356 to Perspectum, Inc. to conduct a retrospective, multi-center longitudinal observational study. The study aims to collect and analyze magnetic resonance cholangiopancreatography (MRCP) data to generate 3D models and associated MRCP+ metrics, specifically focused on the MRCP+ metric "number of strictures." The goal is to determine how changes in this metric relate to disease progression in primary sclerosing cholangitis (PSC) patients. The study will also collect clinical data to assess the prognostic utility of changes in the MRCP+ "number of strictures" metric for predicting clinical outcomes and transplant-free survival in PSC patients. This project is expected to run from September 1, 2024 to August 31, 2025 and is a collaborative effort with members of the CALID registry to obtain a representative sample of the PSC patient population.
